Under New Management

"You went to...apologise?" He asked, an eyebrow raising. Was that why Safrin had been so cold as to ignore him? Why she had issued such a cruel curse on him? Could it be that again, the source of all of his problems was Phoebe? What had he ever done to this girl? The wording eagle thinks a rat made him internally flinch, only experience keeping him from showing the reaction outwardly. Bastien sighed heavily at her final statement, going to pinch his nose. "You are an aggressive girl, hm? Safrin is not like us mortals, holding grudges. He proved himself in death and she has forgiven him. You do not know every inch of this man's life, and neither did I. To speculate on if he was worthy of her admiration is pointless." There was a part of this that was personal, not just lies made up to get her to leave; it annoyed him that Phoebe so easily judged him without knowing what had brought him to this point. In her he saw the snotty noble girls who had turned up their noses at his freedom, his boldness, his refusal to be what they expected.
